RiverClan's Trials

[Fits]

Heroneye
| she/her | RiverClan | Warrior |

Caveclaw seemed to be awaiting Heroneye’s direction, which caught her a bit off-guard. She almost wanted to say, No! Don’t listen to me! You’re much better off following your own judgment! But that in itself would appear as a questioning of Caveclaw’s judgment, so Heroneye just kind of awkwardly and wordlessly slid away from the river.

“Truth be told, I’m curious to see what sorts of creatures could be found here, as opposed to RiverClan territory,” Heroneye spoke in a low voice, making an attempt at small talk. Though this was her at about her most conversational, her voice was still wooden and stiff, each word and opinion carefully inspected before being allowed into the open mountain air.

Caveclaw-She/They

————————


Caveclaw nodded in agreement.
“Yes, they may be vastly different-“ She said “-Or there may be some shockingly similar.”

It was the truth, the creatures here will probably vary just as much as the ones back home.
What she hoped was that they wouldn’t be encountering any threats any time soon.

Berrypaw chuckled as Willowtail told her about Daisykit wanting to be her apprentice, her eyes shining goodnaturedly. "Hah, you can tell her I'm hardly a medicine cat still... I need much more training before I could ever hope to teach anyone," she purred, smiling faintly at the idea that Daisykit would want to spend more time with her. How cute...

Berrypaw smiled in greeting at Weepingpaw, yet quickly realizing he couldn't see her... but hey, a smile still counted, right? "Yes, we've passed by... it's nice to formally meet you, Weepingpaw," she greeted sweetly.

She went quiet as Fadingstar continued the meeting, glancing at Weepingpaw when he was mentioned and the 'paws that were being called up. She also spared a look at little Daisykit, who was excitedly running in place. It was endearing... almost like a little family. Almost... one that she never had...

very large, muscular, & scarred light brown tabby tom with stark blue eyes and a torn ear; beefed up tier 3 | just a scratch

Stagheart let out a mock-annoyed sigh at Daisykit's protest, though his eyes gleamed with a bit of endearment, even if his grumpy self wouldn't want to admit it. Then he turned his head to Weepingpaw, dipping it in greeting... oh wait, the kid couldn't see him. He cleared his throat and greeted himself properly this time. "Hi there, Weepin'paw. I ain't exactly a... father, but, ah... I'll do what I can," he assured lightly, hoping they could hear his sincerity in trying even over his inexperience. He'd taken some cats under his wing before... surely he could do it again, right?

Weepingpaw watched the meeting. Meeting Berrypaw's gaze with his white eyes as she looked at him. Looking back he gave a gentle purr to them both in thanks. Weepingpaw watched as Daisykit protested more, Weepingpaw wacked Daisykit's tail with his own. "Your not even supposed to be here." He grumbled, looking over to Willowtail, pinning his ears for a moment as her eyes gleamed in warning. Then they turned back into others sweet, innocent blue gaze. This caused Weepingpaw to shiver, he could sense his sisters emotions and apologized gently. Receiving a lick in forgiveness.

Daisykit gave a big whine before being hushed by her brother. Huffing about how It wasn't fair she stuck herself in-between Stagheart's paws and sat, her tail out teasingly, the little kit was trying to make her brother get mad during the meeting. Daisykit knew how much she annoyed him but he never did anything because he also loved her. Purring gently Daisykit stayed in her new, warm spot. Meeting Berrypaw's gaze next to her, Daisykit nuzzled Berrypaw's leg and gave a tiny whisper. "Hey! Berrypaw! Could I.... pleaseeeeeeeeeeee have a badger ride when we go back to the den?" Her blue eyes looked up, pleading and matching Willowtail's.

Shellkit - 3 moons - he/him

Cool dusk breeze ruffled the kit's pelt as he lay, daydreaming away. Shellkit had begun to find the dusk comforting, there was something so peaceful about the end of the day. On his back, he stretched out his little paws in an attempt to not fall asleep. Twittering birds could be heard in the distance - he wondered what it would be like, to be a bird. He could fly wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted. It seemed nice. If only cats didn't hunt them, he'd quite like to be a bird.

Tulippaw
37/100 || RiverClan || 9 moons || she/her
The Wilting Bud

Tulippaw was late to the meeting. She didn't care much. It didn't seem like Fadingstar really announced much besides saying a few things about training, and a reassignment it seemed. But none of that applied to her, except for training. She'd go bug some Lionhearts for it soon. She needed more training. She enjoyed training. It kept her mind off other things. The calico padded over towards the back of the crowd and took a seat, absentmindedly listening to their leader.

◜◜

Relief washed over Brokenstream as he realized Duskleaf shared his feelings about the new territory not really feeling like home. He had felt afraid to voice his concerns on that, frightened of being thought disloyal. The bengal nodded his head quickly in agreement. ”Yes! You’re exactly right. It has some of the qualities of home, but it’s still not home.” He gouged his claws into the peaty earth of the river bank as he spoke, tail twitching to and fro behind him. But just as quickly as he got himself riled up, he calmed down. ”You’re right. I honestly didn’t even think about that. I already had faith in Fadingstar and Dusklion, but with StarClan granting Fadingstar his nine lives, it must be a sign that he’s the right leader to lead us through this.” Brokenstream gave a tight nod, seemingly completely resolute in his conclusion.

However, Brokenstream quickly turned his attention back to Duskleaf as he began on about the battle. With a pang, he remember he had helped the Lionheart bury a few RiverClan bodies after the battle, one he had heard having been Duskleaf’s own apprentice. The tom touched the tip of his tail to Duskleaf’s shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look. Here he was, moping about how he missed home, when others were missing so much more. ”May StarClan light the paths of those who fell fighting for RiverClan, a Clan they loved and who loved them.” He murmured, eyes glittering with emotion. Turning his attention back to the river, the warrior watched as Duskleaf tried, and failed, to catch a minnow.

(Brokenstream rolled a 4 - it’s okay, first time using it and it doesn’t like me either xD )

Quick as a flash, Brokenstream clumsily tried to snag a claw after the fish the Lionheart tried to grab, but his paw didn’t even come close as it darted away. He gave Duskleaf a sheepish look. ”Oops, I may have gotten a bit in over my head there.” He joked, embarrassment making him turn his attention back to the river.

’There!’

A decently sized fish, probably a young carp, was steadily swimming up river, almost appearing as if it was staying in the same spot. As quietly as he could, Brokenstream slipped into the river, hoping he didn’t disturb the fish. Thankfully, it was dumb and didn’t seem to notice him. Kicking with his paws, he swam closer, diving under the water and opening his jaws to snap at the fish.

(Brokenstream rolled a 6 - oh em gee )

He missed! He grabbed the tail slightly in his jaw, but the finish managed to rip away, and all he had was a tiny chunk of their tail fin to make up for it. Spitting it out, Brokenstream paddled up to the shore again, dragging himself out and shaking his fur. ”These guys are slippery today. Should we make a competition? First to catch two fish win?”

(@Seamrog - you’ve passed the curse to me LOL )

Wisteriawren
She/Her

Sorrow hung over Wisteriawren like gloomy weather. No clear skies ahead. She didn't know where the sun had gone, so shrouded in darkened clouds that every part of her felt heavy. Or maybe that was because every part of her was heavy, soggy and dripping with rainwater.

She didn't care that she was a drenched mess, though. Wisteriawren couldn't bring herself to move from where she was perched on a rocky outcropping, watching rivulets of rainwater steadily stream past her. Gold-flecked blue hues were sad, dulled, a mirror of her fraying heart.

Her cheek was pressed against freezing stone, her body shivering against the gale. Still, her mind was far off, lost in a thunderstorm of it's own. The voice in her mind was tiny, helpless against these strong winds. She hadn't realized what she'd had with Dusklion and Antlerbranch until they'd turned their backs on her, and now she was all alone.

Her mind drifted to Springkit, to the painful realization she had come to after looking for him playfully at first, thinking he was playing hide and seek with her, and then more frantically as the days passed and she never found him. He was gone, and she selfishly felt pain for it in her heart because she had wanted to curl up around the little kit and cling to him like a lifeline even though she barely knew him - even though all she had done was watch him from afar on occasion.

Patrol due today :3 @taillow

Duskleaf

20 Moons | He/Him | No purrks

RiverClan Lionheart

As he spoke of RiverClan's situation and the cats who died fighting for their Clan, Duskleaf felt Brokenstream's tail touch his shoulder as he remembered finding his apprentice Mousepaw dead after the battle, and having to carry him to be buried outside of his home. He remembered Brokenstream helping with the burials of RiverClan's fallen members, he must’ve known that Mousepaw was Duskleaf’s apprentice, this was pretty much confirmed by the sympathetic look in the golden-furred warrior's eyes. He gave a small smile of gratitude before his disastrous attempt to catch a fish. Brokenstream didn’t seem to be having the best of luck with this either, because he tried to grab the fish Duskleaf had dropped, but missed.

Duskleaf was about to make a comment about the fish having better luck than either of them, but then Brokenstream spotted a fish in the water and dived in after it, only managing to catch a small part of the fish's tail. Luck really wasn’t on their side today. As Brokenstream emerged from the water, he suggested a having competition. "Ooh a competition sounds fun!" He responded. And almost immediately, a decent sized fish in the water came into view, he wasn’t sure what kind of fish it was, but it looked like it’d be big enough to feed a few cats. Seeing his chance, he ran along the bank to keep up with it, before diving into the water after it at the right moment.

[Duskleaf rolls a 13! Which is the best result Dyno's ever gave him XD]

With a splash, Duskleaf landed in the water and saw the fish approaching him, however he was slightly off and it instead swam around his back, completely missing him, however in the water he noticed a much smaller fish, most likely a baby minnow or something, swimming directly towards him. Maybe this fish was blind? It was the only explanation he could think of for it not changing direction. When it got close, which was very quickly, he quickly bit down as the fish swam right into his jaws. He felt no impact however, and just assumed the fish had made it out. Surfacing again, he opened his mouth to let the salt water out, but just as he was about to say something to Brokenstream about luck again, he suddenly felt as if something was stuck in his throat. Quickly he swam back to the bank, realising he couldn’t breathe! He coughed a few times to try and get rid of whatever it was, but then swallowed unintentionally and realised he’d just swallowed the fish. Finally able to breathe again, for a moment he waited to catch his breath again, before turning to Brokenstream. "I think…I think I just accidentally swallowed a tiny fish…" He said. Immediately he worried about the rest of the clan thinking he’d ignored the part of the warrior code which says the clan must be fed first. Even if it wasn’t intentional, he had just broken the warrior code.

"Luck is really not on our side today, is it?" He remarked, his voice still a little hoarse after swallowing the fish.

DUSKLION
she/her | riverclan deputy | 30 moons
go with the flow, rapid recovery, beefed up t3

Trotting back into camp with the marigold clutched in her jaws, Dusklion found her way to Mistyshard and set the herbs at her paws. "Got some good stuff - not much out there this time 'round but I think both Duskleaf 'n Jaggedpaw got some plants for you too," she reported, glancing over her shoulder to look at the Lionheart who was behind her with (hopefully) Jaggedpaw in tow.
